Need to give and remove permissions to folders via the API. Is this possible?
Hi
I'm having a web application built for my print company. End users can upload artwork files and design briefs and design contractors then need to be assigned to work on the projects. I need a system to do the following:
- Upload the End Users design files and design briefs to a newly created folder (one new folder per order/job)
- Give a contractor permission to access said folder.
- Remove access when the job is complete.
I'd like to do all of the above via the API. Point 1 is the easy bit, but what about 2 and 3? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Chris
It sounds like you'd want to use:
2. /2/sharing/share_folder and /2/sharing/add_folder_member
3. /2/sharing/remove_folder_member (and/or optionally /2/sharing/unshare_folder)
Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.

That sounds great Greg. I'll discuss this with the developer. Thanks for your help.
